TOPIC: Conditions For Answered Prayers – (2) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 22 April 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 21, 2 Kings 22, 2 Kings 23, Matthew 13, Matthew 14.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 8:5-10 (KJV)
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
MEMORY VERSE: But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. – Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: When faith comes, then answers will follow automatically.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: My problem shall die, by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
The topic we started yesterday is a very crucial subject that can reduce our sweat when we come to the place of prayer. The second pre-requisite for answered prayers, faith, is what we want to take a look at today. From the Fire Scripture, we read about a centurion whose servant was sick at home and he wanted Jesus’ help to heal the servant. Jesus said unto him, “I will come and heal him.” Then the centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof but speak the Word only, and my servant shall be healed.”

Before we go on with the story of the centurion, let us look at what faith is. Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” The Bible says further in verse 2 that, “By faith the elders obtained a good report.” Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The centurion had been following the ministry journey of Jesus and when it was time for him to tap into the miracle working power of Jesus, he did the unthinkable. Jesus wanted to come to his house, but he said he was not worthy that Jesus should come to his house, but should speak the Word, and the miracle would happen.
Dearly Beloved, Jesus commented on this act of the centurion; He said that He had never found so great faith, not in Israel. Faith is a pre-requisite for answered prayers. You want anything from God? You will have to exercise your faith. Faith is like a magnet that attracts that thing you want from God to you.
The woman with the issue of blood exercised the same faith like that of the Centurion, she had spent all the money she had, but didn’t get healed. No relative was there to help her because she was smelling. Anywhere she went, people were repulsed because of the odour of her body. She preached to herself, saying, “If I may but touch the hem of his garments: (Matthew 9:20). That was all the woman needed to do. She preached to herself. Beloved, how long have you been asking for that one thing and yet you couldn’t exercise faith to get it? God wants you to have faith so that you won’t tarry long in the place of prayer.
